it's amazing how much of my actual writing has nothing to do with anything. and how much is actually work i do for school. i'm keeping track of stuff for the year to see how much i actually write. i pledged 200K, but if i hit 100K, i'll consider that an accomplishment (what with my month off in july, and the prep for the end of my schooling). i mean, a great deal of my YTD word count has either been comment-fic or papers for school. 18K for the year, which is about half of what i've written thus far.

kinda shocking.


i'm a little run down. i've got school, work, mom, the meetings, and NEW DIET to work with. it's wearing on me. i've been making everyone's lunch for the following day, and ending up making dinner as well (god i'd kill for some takeout today. bump the diet). i'm the one who grilled the majority of the meat (master griller here), and i've been setting up and tearing down every day this week.

last night? i didn't go to bed before 1, and had to get up at 7 to get to class on time. ugh. i'm so TIRED. i really really wanna go to sleep, so i'm thinking that during my mom's appointment, it's nighty-night for me. i'm too broke to even satisfy my hunger anyway, so piffle. i'll nap in the car til it's time to go home and then i'll be good to try to get dinner together. or something.


can you graduate at the end of the summer? i'm unsure. there's a date at the very end that says "Degree Date" which i'm taking to mean that you can graduate, just not walk at commencement?? i shouldn't worry about it, of course, but it may mean that i can stop worrying and learn to love the bomb and take classes instead of CLEP, stop worrying about whether i'll be able to have a 500 level or not. speaking of, i applied for my major the second i found out that i had over a 2.0. go me! i hope they get back to me soon.


anyway. this is brought to you by hunger! and dieting. more on that later. about to work out some school issues for a min.

It can be so hard to write and do school, work and *life* at the same time. It is part of the reason that I became a creative writing major. I am forced to write all the time! Of course, now I am graduating next week, so I won't have that convenient reminder to write any more. *lol*

I'll have the summer, and then I go straight into a full-time grad program for Library and Information Sciences. *le sigh* No rest for the weary I guess.

Hang in there, and remember that writing is air. Necessary for the soul! You will reach that goal if you re-commit yourself. I take a note book everywhere with me and write when I have 5 minutes in a line for lunch! *lol* Not the most effective thing, but it works.

You may also try writing for your school journal, or publishing an article or two. Shool related, but not about nothing!

Keep on hanging on, both with your writing and with you diet! You can do this!
